Geocoding mode

Previous Top Next

Geocoding mode is used for creation of point objects by coordinates given in the database. The database table should contain fields appropriate to X and Y coordinates.

For execution of the given mode it is necessary to fill in the following information:

1. Creation of the object for a current record or objects for all records of the table.

2. The units of measurement, in which coordinates of the object in the database are preset (meters, radians, degrees, national aviation - the coordinates are given in degrees as text with the indicating of a latitude and longitude (xxzz, s n (s); xxxzz, s e (w)), WGS84(degrees)).

3. Fields names of the data table having X, Y object coordinates.

4. To set or not to set the link of the created object with appropriate to it record of the database table. At the further operations with database the placed link allows to find by record in the table the appropriate to it object or, on the contrary, by the object to find the record.

5. To save or not to save into transaction log. With the purposes of speed increase at stream creation of point objects it is recommended to not save into the transaction log.

6. To select the map object from the classifier or from the table.

At map object selection from the classifier the Map name (vector or user's) on which the objects will be created, is installed by double click in Object name field. Thus the dialogue "Map object selection" opens. In this dialogue it is necessary:

- select a name of an open map on which the objects will be created;

- select a layer;

- select the object's name (you can see the image example of the selected object in the Image window);

- press Ok button.

At map object selection from the table it is necessary:

- select a name of an open map on which the objects will be created;

- select a field name of the data table in which the external object code is preset.

7. If the created object should have the height characteristic (optional parameter), it is necessary:

- select a field name of the data table (H coordinate) in which the height in meters is preset;

- if the height needs to be written into semantics of the created object, it is necessary to select  the appropriate semantics characteristic from the Semantic parameters list (list is filled and becomes accessible after choice of a concrete map and object);

- To define the necessity of height writing into the metrics and semantics by ticks entering. Save height: into metrics, into semantics.

8. If the created object should have the semantic characteristics (optional parameter), it is necessary:

- press Add button. Into the list of semantic characteristics the record will be added in which value of fields Semantics name and Field name will be "unknown".

- select values of fields Semantics name and Field name. Semantics name (Field name) is selected from the list, which becomes accessible after left mouse button click in the given field.

If all parameters are filled correctly Ok button will be actuated. By pressing of this button  we create objects with selected parameters and we finish execution of Geocoding mode.
